This book is presented in a series of short essays, and they're truly VERY short. I wish there was more scientific data presented, but overall it was charming and a nice read if you love animals.

This is not my favorite Montgomery book, though admittedly the only other one I've read is "The Soul of an Octopus." This reminded me of the Dick King-Smith books I used to love as a child. Short essays (like 3-5 pages) filled with anecdotes of the authors' interactions with animals. It was an enjoyable read, but not a fantastic one.

I skipped around and skimmed a lot. The writing was a little condescending at times which disappointed me.
